Chapter 4

Mom and Dad

A week had passed, and Aly was sitting at lunch when Lilly came up looking very happy. "Miley! I won them!" she smiled really big. "Won what?" Aly asked.

"Three tickets and backstage passes to Karina's concert tonight!!!"

"You got them?!" Miley asked happily. "Yep! You, Me, and- hey Aly you like Karina! Want to go?" Lilly asked her. "Uh, I can't we're still unpacking." She said.

"Bummer!"

"You don't think your mom would let you skip?" Miley asked. "She won't be home. She has a date tonight."

"Oh, well. Maybe next time." Miley said. "Yeah..."

Miley was walking down the hallway when Jackson ran into her. "Jackson, watch where you're going!"

"Miles, dad has a date tonight! With Ms. Renee! Aly's mom." He said.

"No way! Awesome. Hey, at least we like who he's dating."

Aly saw Jackson and walked over. "Aly! Your mom has a date tonight!"

"Yeah, I know..." She laughed. "No, I know! With our dad!" Miley interrupted.

"Awesome!"

"Hey! Now maybe you can come tonight to the Karina concert!" Miley said. "No, I, Uh, I can't really. I have a lot of stuff to do." Aly was panicking. "Okay, I guess you don't like us." Miley said frowning.

"No! I do! Really. It's just I can't! I have to stay home. I have tickets Hannah Montana concert tomorrow, how about you and Lilly come with me?"

She tried really hard to get off of it.

"I can't, I have stuff tomorrow... It's fine. I'll see you later I guess." Miley said.

"Karina! You're on!" she went on a sang her heart out. She sang all her songs and went off.

"Karina! You have some fans with backstage passes." Her dancer Marc said.

"Hi! I'm Karina!" she said to Miley and Lilly.

"I'm Miley, and this is Lilly." She said.

"Hey! What about me?!" Oliver said. "That's Oliver." Lilly said sarcastically.

"Well, Its nice to meet you all." She smiled. "Will you sign my arm?" Oliver asked.

"Uhm, sure?" Karina laughed and signed his arm, "Karina was totally just here!"

"Will you just sign our CD's?" Lilly asked still looking at Oliver like he was completely crazy. "Sure, here guys."

She signed them. She signed Lilly's "To Lilly, Love Karina."

And she signed Miley's, "To Miley, Love Karina."

"Well, it was great to meet you guys, but I've got to jet!" Karina said.

"Okay. Bye!" They said and she went into her dressing room. "Is it me, or does she keep looking more familiar?" Oliver asked. "You know, I think you're right." Miley said.

"Mom! I'm home!" she came inside and found a note left.

"Honey, hope you had fun tonight! I'll be home late so don't wait up. I left some spaghetti in the oven. Just heat it in the microwave!

Love,

Mom"

Aly went to bed and slept like a rock. She woke up in the morning to her cell phone ringing at 10 am. "Hello?" she answered groggily. "Aly, It's Jackson. What are you doing?" he asked. "Oh Hey Jackson. Nothing. What's up?" she yawned.

"I was just wondering what you were doing tonight?" he asked her.

"Well, I have tickets to a Hannah Montana concert."

"Oh, never mind then." He said. Was going to ask me on a date?

"Why?" she asked. "Oh, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out, I was thinking maybe a picnic on the beach, but you have plans." Jackson sounded sad.

"Well, I don't have to go to the concert. I've been before, and I can probably give the tickets to my mom to take someone." Aly said.

"Really? You, You'd give up Hannah Montana tickets to hang out with, me?" He sounded surprised. "Yeah." She laughed.

"Okay, I'll meet you by Rico's tonight at about 6?"

"Yeah. See you there."

"DAD! A GIRL SAID YES TO JACKSON!" He yelled running down the stairs. "JACKSON! WHY IS HE TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF IN THIRD PERSON?!" Miley yelled. "Besides, who would say yes to you?" she laughed. "Aly." He smiled satisfied. "But I thought she had tickets to see Hannah Montana."

"She said she'd give them to her mom."

"A girl chose you over Hannah Montana?" Robbie Ray walked in. "What?? A girl gave up Hannah tickets to see Jackson?" he laughed.

"Who is she?"

"Aly!" Miley said. "Jackson. Leave that poor girl alone." Robbie said.

"Ha Ha Ha guys FUNNY!" He said as he went outside.

"Miles, I'm not going to your concert tonight, so stay with Roxy. " Robbie Ray said to his daughter. "Why?"

"I have another date with Ms. Renee."

"You're dating her mom, Jackson's dating her, what am I supposed to do? Date Oliver?!"

Just then Oliver walked in. "What? Miles, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Oliver! Aly had tickets to Hannah's concert tonight, but she's giving them up to go on a date with Jackson!" Oliver just started laughing. "I HEARD THAT!" Jackson yelled from outside.

It was Six o'clock, and Aly went to the beach to wait for Jackson. She saw a sign that said "Rico's" and walked over. She felt two hands grab her waist. She turned around startled to see Jackson. "Jackson! Don't scare me like that!"

"I scared you? Really? I'm sorry!"

They found a spot in the sand and Jackson set a blanket down and sat down. Aly sat down too. He brought a picnic basket, and pulled out a bag of PB&J sandwiches. "I hope you like peanut butter." He smiled. "I'm allergic to peanuts." Aly said.

"Great, Stupid Jackson! STUPID!" he said slapping himself in the face. "Jackson, calm down, I was kidding!" Aly started laughing. "Oh, I knew that!".

The night went on and the time went by in what seemed like nothing. "Wow, you really are amazing." Jackson said. "No, You are." Aly said blushing. Jackson was looking at her in the eyes, and she was looking back. He leaned in closer to her, and she leaned in to him. Their lips touched and they fell into a kiss that made fireworks. Literally. They pulled apart and saw that fireworks were actually being shot into the air. Jackson smiled, and Aly kissed him again. She looked down and saw her watch. She pulled away from Jackson. "Crap! It's like 11 o'clock!" She said. "Oh! I'll walk you home. You only live next door."

They grabbed their trash and threw it out, and took the blanket and put it in the basket. Jackson grabbed Aly's hand, and they walked up the beach, and to her door.

"I had an amazing time Jackson."

"Me too." Aly kissed him and he kissed back. "Night."

She said and went into the house. She flipped on the living room light and saw her mom on the couch.

With Jackson's dad...?

"Shit!" She whispered and ran outside. She bumped into Jackson who was standing on her porch still. "What? You miss me already?" He laughed. "No. Well, Yes, But. I, Oh god." She looked terrified. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!" he said hugging her. "No, just our parents!"
